MA Degree Show Evaluation

The installation 'the ecstacy of communication' that I have presented for assessment resolves some of my intentions for the work;display and presentation in a space, the use of simultaneous projections, and the use of entirely digital content - without the presence of the 'actual' drawings.


Problematic aspects include;
Logistics of placement of projectors - angle of projection, positioning, the lack of a third projector to fill the space with content as I had envisaged
Pace of films - I had intended to further edit the films to play with pace, flickering and looping of material to create more dynamic animations, and refer to entertainment media.
Content of films/narrative
Aspect ratio technical issues - some images are presented as widescreen, some are not - this leads to a certain amount of 'stretch and squash'

However, the work has developed aspects of the content that I wanted to resolve. By using personal information such as snippets of my text and email conversations I feel that this reconciles the technology to human experience. In past work the process was more important than the content and I didn't find a focal point for my ideas in order to explore that process.
